So today I started teaching an intensive immersion class into .NET. With a John mandate, I am getting our entirre C++/MFC + QA staff converted to .NET/C# as fast as possible. I guess its the equivalent of an Guerrilla .NET or such. It's 10 two-hour sessions. The catch is I had less than a week to develop it, not the months such a thing has taken when I have done this kind of work in the past. So after about 80 hours straight, I had over 300 slides, labs, and more. Today I did Session 1 with the Introduction to .NET. Its a practical, not abstract class so I didn't go into my usual CLR/Rotor/CLI/ECMA spin but the practicalities of why life under the CLR is so radically different and then into the libraries reinforcing the message Its The Runtime Stupid and really its logical permutation, Its The Libraries Stupid (FCL). It went super well. John was thrilled as was everyone it seemed. I am looking forward to the next 9 classes.
